Every 4 years, rowers from around the world compete in a 50- to 60-day trans-Atlantic rowing challenge. These ultra-distance rowers require a diet that provides adequate calories, protein, vitamins, minerals, and fluids so they can perform well day after day, minimize fatigue, and stay healthy. Yet, the rowers are confronted with menu planning challenges. The food needs to be lightweight, compact, sturdy, non-spoiling in tropical temperatures, calorie dense, easy to prepare, quick to cook, and good tasting. Financial concerns commonly add another menu planning challenge. The purpose of this case study is to summarize the rowers' food experiences and to provide guidance for sports nutrition professionals who work with ultra-endurance athletes embarking on a physical challenge with similar food requirements. The article provides food and nutrition recommendations as well as practical considerations for ultra-distance athletes. We describe an 8,000 calorie per day menu planning model that uses food exchanges based on familiar, tasty, and reasonably priced supermarket foods that provide the required nutrients and help contain financial costs.
每四年，来自世界各地的赛艇运动员会参加一项为期50至60天的跨大西洋赛艇挑战赛。这些超远距离赛艇运动员需要一种能提供足够热量、蛋白质、维生素、矿物质和液体的饮食，这样他们才能日复一日地表现出色，将疲劳降至最低，并保持健康。然而，赛艇运动员面临着菜单规划的挑战。食物需要重量轻、体积小、坚固、在热带温度下不易变质、热量密集、易于准备、烹饪迅速且味道鲜美。经济方面的担忧通常又增加了一项菜单规划挑战。本案例研究的目的是总结赛艇运动员的饮食经历，并为与开始面临类似食物需求的身体挑战的超耐力运动员合作的运动营养专业人员提供指导。本文为超远距离运动员提供了食物和营养建议以及实际考虑因素。我们描述了一个每天8000卡路里的菜单规划模型，该模型使用基于常见、美味且价格合理的超市食品的食物交换，这些食物能提供所需营养并有助于控制财务成本。
